The Reality From out West

West Coast 5 days a week....


June 20, 2007 | Tags: Hip Hop, West Coast

                I guess for me it’s like internet week or something. Every blog I got planned is about something internet related. I said planned because I often have plans for certain blogs, or I write certain blogs and never put them up (“Jersey where the fuck are you” “The lost art of freestyle battle rapping””My PS3 is shitting on everything”) Oh well. Yesterday I told you why Hiphopdx is the best. I brought up all the things I like about the other sites, and the things I don’t like about them. SOHH (the site a lot of people proclaimed as the worst) is actually the site I check second most other than Hiphopdx. Not because I believe it’s the second best site, but because of SOHH Left Coast my dude SOHH Eighty, one of the few dudes on the net representing the west coast more than I do.



                First of all, if it wasn’t for SOHH Eighty, I wouldn’t be here on HipHopdx. Before I was given the opportunity to express my thoughts freely with my own blog section, I was just another internet shit talking commenter. I had my blogs on MySpace….but who the fuck reads those? (Apparently nobody). I’d frequent SOHH and diss that Mexico dick face dude for the being the racists prick that he was. I’d go into SOHH NY and diss them for not speaking much on the real talented cats from NY, and I’d talk shit to the Left Coast dude whenever he would say anything about Game. The more and more I checked the section, the more I realized, dude covers EVERYTHING west coast. I haven’t seen anybody cover a wider variety of west coast shit yet. From C-bo to Hiero, From Jayo Felony to Murs, From Ras Kass to Brotha Lynch Hung. Every week on Monday 80 even brings back a west coast classic video (something I want to do so bad, but I refuse to bite someone else’s style, I’ll just have to do a big blog with a lot of them one day)80 takes requests, gives out the west coast concert dates (for southern and northern Cali), reviews new west coast music, he covers non-hip hop west coast issues like gang violence, and has done interviews with cats like Evidence and Juice from Black Wall Street. One thing is for sure, he definitely knows a lot more about Nor Cal shit then I do. (He’s from Sacramento) The onetime 80 didn’t speak the west coast it was so he could speak on El-P’s “I’ll Sleep When Your Dead” and Sean Price’s “Jesus Price” albums, and even though I had comments about it then, you can’t really hate on that. (Those are two dope ass albums.) He even sent yours truly to Paid Dues Festival (with media passes and all that shit) to cover it.  80 brings a new west coast blog Monday-Friday every week, gangster rap, Hyphy, “Backpack rap”, all sorts of shit.



                I’m all for the promotion of west coast music. While SOHH 80 speaks on some artists I wouldn’t even mention to diss, he also covers people I hold in high regard. Also, I understand some people like a wider variety of west coast music than what I’m willing to support, so for those people, check out SOHH’s SOHH Left Coast section and SOHH 80, holding it down for all west coast shit (except Hot Rod…LOL)You can check out SOHH 80 here.
